Police have sealed off two areas of Grimsby after two men were stabbed in the early hours.

Cordons are in place in both Albion Street and Fairmont Road this morning as scenes of crime officers carry out investigations following the 3am incident.

An 18-year-old and a 22-year-old have been taken to hopsital, although police say their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

There is a large police presence in Albion Street, where the cordon there also stretches around Bath Street and continues into Mansfield Court and Windsor Court.

Shocked residents can be seen peering out of their windows and some have had to remove blood from their vehicles.

The owner of a black Fiat said he had to wipe it off the door handle.

One resident said: “I was looking forward to another lovely day until I woke up to this. It’s like something from a movie”

Another said: “I heard a man was stabbed outside Windsor Court. He then ran around Albion Street and into Bath Street to get help. He was in a bad way.”

A nearby business owner said: "It is not good to see this, lucky it's is half term or children would be walking past this on the way to school."

Meanwhile, police have confirmed a second cordon, in Fairmont Road, is linked to the investigation.
